Lets talk Art/Politics. If you haven't heard of Ai Wei Wei he is this amazing activist and artist (artivist? arctivist?) One of his many accomplishments is the Olympics Birds Nest Stadium for Beijing, China in the 2008. He is not the ideal man but he is someone with a passion I admire. When a disaster strikes we feel bad for a few weeks and it washes away slowly from our thoughts. People like Ai Wei Wei do not wait for a change, they push and shove to make sure events don't leave our minds. His attempt to move China towards a direction of democracy and freedom of expression is what I admire. His Documentary Ai Wei Wei:Never Sorry is on Netflix right now and I recommend it to everyone.
Here is a video of him from youtube to get you loving this bear : Ai WeiWei Style
While you're at it...
There is a documentary called 'Exit through the Gift Shop' following a French man living in California known as "Mr. Brainwash". At first I admired his work documenting graffiti artists such as Space Invader, Shepard Fairey and most famously Banksy. When you get the idea of the documentary and "Mr.Brainwash" you will leave feeling quite different about artists, those who make art, and their followers.
As they say...Ignorance is Bliss
In more interesting events I was surfing the inter web(?). And I landed on the weird side of youtube so here are some things I found interesting.
1. Man doesn't eat for 70 years. Mr.M
2. Monk that can lift his body with only two fingers. wahh? who chose the music?
